1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The prognostic impact of excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) expression in gastric cancer (GC) has been investigated for decades, but has yielded controversial results. The aim of the present study was to provide a precise evaluation of whether the expression levels of ERCC1 are associated with overall survival (OS) in patients with GC. A systematic search of Medline and Embase was conducted. Original studies concerning OS and ERCC1 expression were included for critical appraisal. A total of 15 studies comprising 1,425 patients with GC were identified. The results revealed that high/positive ERCC1 expression was an indicator of poor survival in patients with GC [hazard ratio (HR) 1.48; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02-2.10; P=0.036; I
